He's a living relic of the Bush Administration and the cultural atmosphere at the time. He kind of burned out during the Obama administration and had brief nostalgic surge in popularity during the Trump years from people who wanted yet another liberal voice ripping into Trump.
I'll admit that I didn't think much of him during the Bush years but appreciated how he at least pushed back on Obama on some issues during his presidency. Every other liberal pundit just wouldn't do that and instead praised him for things Bush had been doing.
Nowadays he's kind of worn out his welcome and is only really beloved by Millennials that grew up with him during the 2000's. I don't think GenZ is as enamored with him but I could by wrong.
